Customer Reviews

It takes the Scoop

I would be negligent if I gave this book anything but 5 stars. It's a great primer on ice cream and a great reference to have on hand so it's suitable for the beginner as well as the advanced person. It's pretty well laid out and covers most aspects of production while still being easy to read and not just a boring theory trip. The index (yes that list at the back) does a pretty good job of covering things like flavors and ingredients and appears pretty complete. This is sits next to the ice cream maker.

Great Book

Ice Cream!: The Whole Scoop Covers all types of ice cream, still freeze and churned. Includes much background information. So far every recipe I have tried has been perfect.

Good ice cream book that covers alot

This is a great book for those starting out to make ice cream. It pretty much covers all topics and gives lots of recipes. Easy to read and use.

Informative, Complete, great recipies

This is a great book with everything you will want to know about frozen delights, whether made with an ice cream maker or not. Instructions enable you to be creative as well. The Apricot Ice recipie is my family's favorite from my ice cream maker and I've tried recipies from other books. This book is well worth the money!

THE ONLY BOOK YOU NEED ON ICE CREAM

This book is FABULOUS if you want to learn about Ice Cream as well as make it. The author provides the background information that many a cookbook leave out so that you can understand and even troubleshoot your creations. She explains what stabilizers, emulsifiers and other ingredients do for ice cream and even includes a section the various machines available.She includes ice cream recipies for those with dietary restrictions, soy milk, rice milk, yogurt, ices etc. as well as sherberts, sorbets, gelatos etc. There is an exhaustive "chart" which will cover just about any ingredient you can think of adding to your ice cream which gives you quantities for you to use. The author tested recipes are simple and easy to follow and those that I have tried are great. I own many ice cream books, but if I were to recommend one book on ice cream, this would be it. This is the true bible of Ice Cream books, there is no other so complete.
